Bahama

The name speaks of Caribbean isles, bright sun, and cool breezes. Our Bahama shutters provide an effective shade from the sun’s hot glare, while permitting some visibility to the outside. Bahama shutters also will allow a breeze to flow through your home. Bahama shutters are hinged at the top, and are held away from the window by adjustable tubes at the bottom of the shutter. The adjustable tubes at the bottom can be set at different lengths to allow more sunlight and visibility when open, and better impact and intruder protection when closed. Please contact us for further details.

Hollow Fiberglass Louver

Our decorative shutter consists of a fiberglass hollow louver with a fiberglass frame and comes in colonial or Bahama styles. It can be used as a decorative shutter that is fixed-mounted in place or, with mounting hardware, can be a fully operational shutter providing protection from rain and snow. The Bahama shutter is an excellent choice for a sun-shade which will block harsh sunlight while letting cool breezes in. The louvers are spaced apart allowing air to flow thru for ventilation. Our shutter is custom sized to fit almost any opening. We also have a board and batten shutter which is available in increments of 4” widths such as 12”, 16”, 20” etc.

The frame (or the styles and rails) are made of an extra dense fiberglass that is very strong. The material is protruded into a rectangular tube that is hollow. The wall thickness is about 3/16” and composed of several layers of fiberglass. The surface texture is smooth and the material does not rot or warp. Unlike aluminum products it does not corrode and is unaffected by electrolysis. It is the perfect product for regions of salt or high humidity.

PAINT:

The paint is a two component acrylic polyurethane which uses a spray application. The resulting finish has excellent long life characteristics. We do custom color matching at no extra charge. The gloss has been lowered to give a beautiful sheen which more closely matches house paints without the harsh look of a high gloss finish. The paint won’t peel or flake and later, should you decide to refinish, simply clean with ethylene or acetone and paint with almost any finish right over the factory coat.

HARDWARE:

Our shutters can accept various styles of hardware from almost any manufacturer or we have our own line of heavy duty stainless steel. Powder coated colored hardware is available at an extra charge.

WARRANTY:

Hollow fiberglass louver shutters have a limited lifetime warranty against rotting, splitting or warping for residential purposes. For commercial purposes, the shutters have a limited 25 year warranty. The paint is warranted for 10 years against peeling, flaking or loss of adhesion. Normal fading which results in color loss is not covered.

Fiberglass Storm Shutters

Our storm shutter consists of a solid fiberglass louver with a fiberglass frame and comes in colonial or Bahama styles. It can be used as a decorative shutter that is fixed-mounted in place or, with mounting hardware, can be a fully operational shutter providing protection from the elements. Although not impact code approved it is extremely strong and very durable. The material will last longer than most building materials and comes with a lifetime warranty for homeowners and a 25 year commercial warranty. The Bahama shutter is an excellent choice for a sun-shade which will block harsh sunlight while letting cool breezes in. The louvers are spaced apart allowing air to flow thru for ventilation. Our fiberglass louver shutter is custom sized to fit almost any opening. We also have a board and batten shutter which is available in increments of 4” widths such as 12”, 16”, 20” etc.
